2 02 Benefits 03 THE BEST The clever interaction of the five modules of FluidFuture, KSB s energy efficiency concept, results in the highest possible efficiency of a pump system. KSB SuPremE motors provide FluidFuture with a drive allowing to run a system more leanly than with any other pump drive. Energy savings of 70% or more are possible The speed-controlled KSB SuPremE motor works like an energy diet: The large efficiency gain of up to 60% due to speed control is increased even further by an energy saving of up to 30% in the motor alone. Far ahead of its time The motor meets tomorrow s IE4 efficiency requirements (to IEC (CD) Ed. 2) already today, and hence exceeds the requirements of the European ErP Regulation for Sustainable Built completely without magnetic materials, its total environmental footprint is significantly smaller than that of permanent-magnet synchronous and asynchronous motors. Robust The use of non-critical, durable materials, as well as the fully matured reluctance principle make the KSB SuPremE motor a durable, reliable drive that is in no way inferior to other types of drive. Compatible Wherever there is room for an IE2 asynchronous motor, a SuPremE motor with identical connecting dimensions can also get the work done efficiently. Interested?

3 04 Potential Savings 05 The energy diet based on the KSB SuPremE motor has an immediate effect on your energy bills. The synchronous reluctance motor is operated at variable speed and achieves uniquely stable and high efficiency gains in all load ranges. SAVING Analyses of existing pump systems have shown that most electric motors are not run at their rated load point but mostly at part load. In Europe, motors are normally operated at no more than 60% of their rated load. The efficiency regulations for electric motors initiated by legislators all prioritise operation at the rated load point. With its super premium efficiency at full load but above all with its high efficiency across the entire part-load range the KSB SuPremE motor stands out as the lean alternative drive for the future.

5 08 Innovation 09 PIONEER Whilst the legal efficiency requirements of the EU are imposing ever more excessive restraints on system operators, KSB SuPremE motors give your system more air to breathe. Designed on the basis of the synchronous reluctance principle, they can be operated so leanly that asynchronous and magnet excited synchronous motors cannot keep up. And the environment also benefits from the energy diet: As the new KSB SuPremE generation is made entirely without ecologically harmful rare earths, its ecobalance is excellent. Why is the world ready for the SuPremE motor? 50% of all electrical power used in Europe is consumed by electric motors - of this figure, between 20 and 25% is used to power pumps. At the same time, new and ever stricter EU standards are adding to the pressure put on the efficiency of electric drives. Which types of motor are covered by EU standards? The requirements of EC Motor Regulation 640/2009 focus on the asynchronous motors used in the majority of applications; they completely ignore more efficient technologies such as synchronous motors. Not operation at rated load, but operation at part load is of prime importance. As a rule, efficiency measurements are taken at the rated load point. On average, electric pump drives are operated at no more than 60% of their total power output. Against this background, KSB SuPremE motors are the perfect alternative. Frequency inverters eliminate the need for DOL starting. KSB SuPremE motors are always run at variable speed. Although they also beat conventional asynchronous motors when operated at rated load, the much more impressive energy savings are achieved in the part-load range. The reason for this is that, unlike asynchronous motors, they do not depend on DOL starting. Reduced energy losses thanks to efficient rotor geometry. The geometry of the rotor laminations of KSB SuPremE motors is designed for absolutely smooth, even and quiet operation. Excellent overall ecobalance since no magnets and rare earths are used. KSB SuPremE motors really do make a contribution to our planet s survival: they do not depend on magnets made of rare earths. These are regarded critical materials and cannot be mined without considerable environmental impact in the countries of origin. The remarkably efficient motor concept by KSB, therefore, scores extremely well in ecological assessments evaluating the machine s total life cycle, from its manufacture via the service phase to its disposal as scrap metal. An independent PLCA study has confirmed this.

6 10 Features 11 As far as the use of resources is concerned, it is the sum total of all of its technical features that make the KSB SuPremE the lean motor it is. Less material more know-how; that is what drives this motor. And the optimum interaction with the PumpDrive speed control system makes it the motor of choice for our energy turnaround era. Comprehensive performance range KSB SuPreme motors are available in the IEC power ratings from 0.55 to 45 kw PumpDrive speed control system. KSB s PumpDrive, which has proven to be very effective in combination with an asynchronous motor, adjusts the speed of the motor and with that the pump s flow rate and head to match current demand. KSB SuPremE is the only synchronous reluctance motor with a motormounted speed control system. Durable and robust. The reluctance principle is fully matured. Thanks to the use of non-critical, durable materials, KSB SuPremE motors are as robust as asynchronous motors. Their lack of sensors additionally reduces the probability of failure. And the lower temperature of the rotor has a positive effect on the service life of the bearings. Environmentally friendly, magnet-less design principle. KSB SuPremE motors have an outstandingly small total environmental footprint. Their non-use of magnetic materials makes them much more sustainable than permanent-magnet synchronous motors and asynchronous motors. Quiet rotor geometry. The matter-of-fact designation US patent pertains to the special cut of the laminated rotor core. It is enormously effective, allowing only extremely little torque ripple (1-2%) for extremely quiet operation. kg CO 2 equivalent ASM IE KSB SuPremE IE4 7.5 kw, 2-pole or 1500 rpm HIGH-TECH
